100 Y on a F F?

100 yards of a football field


How do you solve this problem using derivatives find two real numbers x and y so that x-y equals 100 and their product is minimized?

At first glance, this would appear to be a multivariable problem. But in actuality, with the two equations we have to work with: f(x,y) = xy x - y = 100 We can rearrange the second one to find what y is equal to in terms of x: y = 100 - x (We can also solve x in terms of y, but solving y in terms of x is conventional). then we can plug this in for y into f(x,y) to make it simply a function of x: f(x) = x(100 - x) = 100x - x2 We then take the derivative of this, setting f'(x) equal to 0: f'(x) = 0 = 100 - 2x 2x = 100 x = 100/2 = 50 This is the value of x that minimizes the product of x and y when x - y = 100. We then solve for y by plugging in the x-value into this equation: 50 - y = 100 -y = 100 - 50 y = -50 By plugging in values for which x > 50 and x < 50 into the equation f(x) = 100x - x2, we find that f(x) is indeed greater on both the intervals where x < 50 and where x > 50, proving that x = 50 is indeed an absolute minimum.


When was Pierre De fermat's last theorem created?

PIERRE DE FERMAT's last Theorem. (x,y,z,n) belong ( N+ )^4.. n>2. (a) belong Z F is function of ( a.) F(a)=[a(a+1)/2]^2 F(0)=0 and F(-1)=0. Consider two equations F(z)=F(x)+F(y) F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) We have a string inference F(z)=F(x)+F(y) equivalent F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) F(z)=F(x)+F(y) infer F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) F(z-x-1)=F(x-x-1)+F(y-x-1) infer F(z-x-2)=F(x-x-2)+F(y-x-2) we see F(z-x-1)=F(x-x-1)+F(y-x-1 ) F(z-x-1)=F(-1)+F(y-x-1 ) F(z-x-1)=0+F(y-x-1 ) give z=y and F(z-x-2)=F(x-x-2)+F(y-x-2) F(z-x-2)=F(-2)+F(y-x-2) F(z-x-2)=1+F(y-x-2) give z=/=y. So F(z-x-1)=F(x-x-1)+F(y-x-1) don't infer F(z-x-2)=F(x-x-2)+F(y-x-2) So F(z)=F(x)+F(y) don't infer F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) So F(z)=F(x)+F(y) is not equivalent F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) So have two cases. [F(x)+F(y)] = F(z) and F(x-1)+F(y-1)]=/=F(z-1) or vice versa So [F(x)+F(y)]-[F(x-1)+F(y-1)]=/=F(z)-F(z-1). Or F(x)-F(x-1)+F(y)-F(y-1)=/=F(z)-F(z-1). We have F(x)-F(x-1) =[x(x+1)/2]^2 - [(x-1)x/2]^2. =(x^4+2x^3+x^2/4) - (x^4-2x^3+x^2/4). =x^3. F(y)-F(y-1) =y^3. F(z)-F(z-1) =z^3. So x^3+y^3=/=z^3. n>2. .Similar. We have a string inference G(z)*F(z)=G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y) equivalent G(z)*F(z-1)=G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1) G(z)*F(z)=G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y) infer G(z)*F(z-1)=G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1) G(z)*F(z-x-1)=G(x)*F(x-x-1)+G(y-x-1)*F(y) infer G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)*F(x-x-2)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) we see G(z)*F(z-x-1)=G(x)*F(x-x-1)+G(y)*F(y-x-1 ) G(z)*F(z-x-1)=G(x)*F(-1)+G(y)*F(y-x-1 ) G(z)*F(z-x-1)=0+G(y)*F(y-x-1 ) give z=y. and G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)*F(x-x-2)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)*F(-2)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) x>0 infer G(x)>0. give z=/=y. So G(z)*F(z-x-1)=G(x)*F(x-x-1)+G(y-x-1)*F(y) don't infer G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)*F(x-x-2)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) So G(z)*F(z)=G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y) don't infer G(z)*F(z-1)=G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1) So G(z)*F(z)=G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y) is not equiivalent G(z)*F(z-1)=G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1) So have two cases [G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y)]=G(z)*F(z) and [ G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1)]=/=G(z-1)*F(z-1) or vice versa. So [G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y)] - [ G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1)]=/=G(z)*[F(z)-F(z-1)]. Or G(x)*[F(x) - F(x-1)] + G(y)*[F(y)-F(y-1)]=/=G(z)*[F(z)-F(z-1).] We have x^n=G(x)*[F(x)-F(x-1) ] y^n=G(y)*[F(y)-F(y-1) ] z^n=G(z)*[F(z)-F(z-1) ] So x^n+y^n=/=z^n Happy&Peace. Trần Tấn Cường.


What is the derivative of yXy'?

assuming that you are referring to a function: f(y) = y×y or better put: f(y) = y2 Then it's derivative would be: f'(y) = 2y


What notation represents a function as f x instead of y?

'Y' is a function 'f' of 'x': Y = f(x) . 'Z' is a function 'g' of 'y': Z = g [ f(x) ] .
